[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 486229, member: 8833"] Can't help you with info on Harris. Got 3 of them sitting on a shelf somewhere as I gave up on them. Just didn't work for me. There is no ground in Montana that is perfectly flat and I don't need the "best" on the rifle range if it doesn't work for me in the field. About 3 years ago I bought a "Stoney Point rapid pivot bipod" in prone model after seeing one on some outdoor show. It swivels, attaches and detaches in less than a second, and most important for me was the rifle could be used in scabbard horseback with bipod in my pocket or pack. Worked so well that I bought one for sitting/kneeling. The prone model is adequate for me out to 600 yds.. It may not be as solid as a Harris but it is much more usable in the field in my opinion. The sitting one is less than adequate. I tried and tried to get it to work but for me about 200 yds was the max. that I felt comfortable using it. Just not stable enough. You get this adapter that you put on your rifle swivel and the bipod snaps on or off that adapter. I have since bought a number of adapters only for different rifles and one bipod works on all rifles. Last time I used the Harris was on a prairie dog town. Didn't even like the weight on the rifle then and I can't even consider that hunting - that was just shooting. [/QUOTE]
